I did it! I've won my first trophy ever in auto racing. Sure, it had nothing to do with my speed, let alone my driving skills, but I'm extremely proud nonetheless. Indeed, over the last weekend, I had the honor to win, together with my colleague and long-time racer Bertrand Godin, the inaugural Laurentian Alternative Energy Rally, an international event that made its North American debut.
